Re: DVD to HDX reduces audio quality
When you find issues like this, please open up a new support ticket by calling Vudu. I have one open with 9 movies that are in the same situation where the audio is higher quality on the HD version than on the HDX version.

Re: DVD to HDX reduces audio quality
I upgraded my Running Scared (2006) DVD to HDX to avoid buying it on Blu-ray. However, the HDX version is still only Stereo.

Re: DVD to HDX reduces audio quality
How do they manage to give us an HDX picture but lower the quality of the audio encode to DVD or less-than DVD quality?
Addicted to Love - 5.1 on DVD, Stereo on HDX
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me - 5.1 on DVD, TrueHD5.1 on BLU, Stereo on HDX
Black Hawk Down - 5.1 on DVD, 5.1 on BLU, Stereo on HDX
Breaking Bad: The Fifth Season - 5.1 on DVD, 5.1 on BLU, Stereo on HDX
Contact - 5.1 on DVD, TrueHD5.1 on BLU, Stereo on HDX
Corpse Bride - 5.1 on DVD, 5.1 on BLU, Stereo on HDX
Elf - 5.1 on DVD, TrueHD5.1 on BLU, Stereo on HDX
Empire of the Sun - 5.1 on DVD, DTSHD5.1 on BLU, Stereo on HDX
Independence Day - 5.1 on DVD, DTSHD5.1 on BLU, Stereo on HDX
You get the idea, so I won't do it for more, but these are also in the same situation:
L.A. Confidential
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Life
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
National Lampoon's Vacation
Notebook, The
Ocean's Eleven
Oklahoma
Panic Room
Remains of the Day
Singles
Sixteen Candles
True Romance (Unrated)
Really, you would have to WORK to actually separate the good encode and find some of these crappy audio releases because you can't even BUY some of these in such low audio quality as they are offering here!!

Re: DVD to HDX reduces audio quality
Originally posted by tyknee View PostThey really should change how the "Disc to Digital" program is explained. Basically you have DVD/BRDs, Vudu has movies to stream. For a fee, you can get your DVD/BRDs added to your UV locker, which will allow you to stream that move over the Vudu service (and any other service that can read your UV locker and has rights to the movie).
If the Vudu stream (or other service) doesn't contain certain features (sound channels, additional tracks, alternate endings, etc) than you won't be able to view them. You are simply buying the UV rights to that movie which you already own. Many of the movies in the program never came with UV codes (because either the studio didn't support it at the time of release or it wasn't around at the time).
It is NOT converting your discs to anything.
Patience my friends...
I will continue to D2D any disk that I have now or in the future. Most titles that I buy now have the UV code thankfully .

if you use the search function you wil see this is not new. Matrix and 300 are the same way.
Speaking of which, with all the new people coming here from bluray.com, why is no one using the search option. All the repeated posts....

DVD to HDX reduces audio quality
First let me say the option to upgrade some of my DVDs to Ultraviolet (VUDU HDX) at $5 could be interesting - but my actual experience cools my enthusiasm.
Today I did Disc to Digital on 'Blade Runner', 'Dark City' and 'The Fifth Element' - all DVD to HDX.
Video quality seems OK - 'Blade Runner' and 'Dark City' probably a little better than good DVD transfers and 'The Fifth Element' looked pretty good.
However both 'Dark City' and 'The Fifth Element' were 5.1 audio on the DVDs but only Dolby Digital 2.0 on the Ultraviolet (Vudu HDX).
So what is up with that - $5 to downgrade from 5.1 to 2.0 audio. Audio is very much part of the experience.
As I say I like the concept - but the content needs to be better for both video and audio if VUDU/studios would like another payment for content we already own.....Tags: None
